We’re excited to host a special donation-based Memorial Day Open Mat to support the We Defy Foundation. As a proud We Defy Affiliate academy, CJJF Texas loves showing our continued support for this incredible organization that uses Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to help veterans and their families heal from the physical, mental, and emotional wounds of combat.
Make an Impact With CJJF Texas This Memorial Day
Come join us this Memorial Day for our Ruck & Roll event in support of the mission of the We Defy Foundation! We Defy provides combat veterans coping with military connected disabilities a long term means to overcome their challenges through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
It costs $2500 on average to fund a single veteran scholarship. This includes gym fees as well as uniform costs. Jiu Jitsu has been shown to be an effective alternative therapy for veterans suffering from PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. Through the process of training Jiu Jitsu, veterans have a mechanism to reconnect to society, join a welcoming and familiar community, and ultimately better cope with their military-connected disabilities.
